THE CHINESE MAY BREAK IN Exclusion Act to Be Sys- tematically Attacked. AN APPEAL TO WASHINGTON ALLEGED TO CONFLICT WITH ; THE TREATY. ‘Sitxy-One Merchants Who Have Been Refused a Landing Taxe the Matter to the Secretary of the Treasury. The apparent conflict between the ex- clusion act of 18% and the treaty made in 184 between this country and China is in a falr way of being settled within a short time, an appeal based on that issue having been perfected and mailed to the Seccretary of the Treasury yesterday. The decision of the Becretary on the matter will be fraught with great importance to the people of the Pacific Coast, who will be more directly and injuriously affected than the people of any other portion. It is believed that there is merit in the appeal, that the decision will be in favor of the petitioners and that the door will be thrown wide open for the unrestricted entrance of hordes of coolies under the guise of merchants and traders. It is the ruie where two laws on the same subject | come in conflict to declde that the latter | law, if valid at all, supersedes the older | or such portions of the older as may con- | tlict with the younger law. | The act of Congress of 1884 provldesE that the certificates of admission on which merchants or traders may be en- titled to enter this country shall state | nature, character and estimated | value of the business of the appiicant. | The treaty which was fatified and which | went into effect ten years aiter the going | into effect of the act of Congress of 1884 | simply provides that the applicant shall | ve “a certificate’” with his name, de- | scription, age, etc., and the statement that he s a merchant or trader. This | certificate must be signed by the Regis- | trar General or Taotal, and vised by the | American Consul at the port of depart- | ure. | The Treasury Department, of its own | motion, for the purpose of turowing the proper safeguards against the entry of | labor from China, has added to the | rements of the treaty the additional requirement mentioned in the act of 1884, | It 1s contended by the Chinese applicants | that the Treasury Department has no | power, right or authority to amend the | treat _Sixiy-one Chinese who arrived on ol | China and the Dorlc recently presented to | the Collector Canton certificates signed by the Taotai and properly vised by the American Consul at Canton, certifying that they were merchants. The require- ents of the treaty were carried out in / particular, but the requirement of act of 1884 that the nature, character stimated ue of the applicant’s | should be stated was not com- | plied with. _Collector Jackson, under the instruc- usly received from the Treas- Department, refused to allow the 61 to land, on the ground that : certificates did not comply with the requirements of the statute of 1884.

Southern Pacific Will Sell Second- Class Tickets on the Rebate Plan After June 9. | | The Southern Pacific Company yester- day definitely announced that the same ductions in second-class rates via Mo- | jave, El Paso and New Orleans which are to go into effect on Sunday, June 5, will also apply via Ogden on Wednesday, June 9. They give as a reason for not putting the rates in effect on the earlier date be- cause the Interstate Commerce Commis- sioners must recelve three days' notice when rates are reduced, and as there are other minor details to be attended to therefore the rates via Ogden will apply on the 9t This is the culmination of extraordinary efforts on_thie part of the Union Pacific and the Rio Grande ang Western to persuade the Southern Pacific to fall in line with the reductions first put into effect me months ago by the Cana- dlan Pacific and followed later by the | Oregon Railway and Navigation ~Com. | pany, the Northern Pacific and the Great | Northern, who hook their passengers via | >ortland.” The Southern Pacific Company | ow to vield to the demands of the lines out of Ogden, but it has finally cone sented, and the result will be that the | major part of the second-class travel twill | take the more direct route via Ogden at | the reduced rates. Tickets will be sold at present rates on the rebate plan: Kan- sas City $40, rebate 30; Boston $67 80, re bate §25 25; New York, $46 50, rebate $53 9 St. Louis $47 50, rebate $10 50; Chicago $52 50, rebate $20. ern Pacific Company decided to put the rates in effect via Ogden only after it was agreed by the other lines to allow the dlvision demanded by the Southern Pacific Company as its share of the haul to Og- den. On points east of the Missouri River the local company will receive $11 80, and to the Missouri River it will get the For Instance, ‘the rate to Kan: 31, and the Southern Pacific (l‘,!:x:ug’r}; ng 46 per cent wil make its division This will leave but $16 74 to divide between the lines out of Ogden and their connections. The Rio Grande brought all of its per- suasive powers to bear, and the Union Pacific kept the wires hot in an endeavor to induce the Southern Pacific Company to recede from a position which it was claimed was an unjust one; but the local officials were inexorable, and the South- ern Pacific, being the initial line, had the advantage, and the rates went into effect only after its demands had been complied with in every particular. As one dis- gruntled official expressed it, “they have entered into a conflict with their friendly Eastern connections.” ———————————— COMPENSATORY DAMAGES ONLY California Navigation and Improve- ment Company Gets a New Trial. The difference between compensatory and. exemplary damages was a question which was settled by the Supreme Court in a decision handed in yesterday. The case in which the court made itself clear for the guidance of trial courts in the future was that of Charles Trabing, a minor, who sued through his mother, as guardian, the California Navigation and Improvement Company for $5000. damages received by him from the captain of the Mary Garratt, who placed him in frons, with his arms around a stanchion, during the voyage of that boat from Benicia to Antioch, for a period of three hours. The cause which led up to this treatment was that the captain accused the boy of not paying his 50 cents for a passage from Benicia to Stockton. The boy claimed that he had paid his fare, and on the trial he oftered evidence In support of this claim, which the ju evhljdeml gave credence | mell & Son, Union-square Market, was | M.

The Supreme Court, In reversing the action of the trial court and granting the defendant a new trial, did so on the fine point of what con- stitutes ‘‘compensatory” from ‘‘exem- plary’ damages. After a general review of the case, the court quotes a portion of the Judge's charge and also a portion of that asked by the defendant’s attorney, but which upper court comments on 1s as follows: “Then I charge you, your verdict will be in favor of plaintiff for such damages as under all the circumstances of the case disclosed by the evidence appear to be just, not exceeding the sum of $5000, the sum demanded In the complaint.” To this the defendant's attorney asked that the following be also given to the jury, but the Judge declined: *T charge you that in cases of this kind the plaintiff can re- cover only the actual damages suffered by him, unless the master authorized the commission of the act complained of or participated therein, or ratified it after its commission.” For this refusal the Supreme Court re- versed the verdict and granted a new trial, holding that compensatory damages in a case of this kind should prevail in- stead of exemplary damages, as were glven by the jury. The evidence in the case as quoted In the decision showed that it was the cap- tain himself who placed the frons on the boy's wrists and who ordered him ashore at Antloch at 3 o'clock In the mornin without a cent in his pockets or a frien to appeal to.

DETERMINED T0 RULE OR RUIN San Jose School Board Defies the Public. WANTS NO INTERFERENCE WILL OF THE STUDENTS TO BE CRUSHED. Nevertheless the Trustees Probably Will Restore Professor Smith to His Former Position. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, June 3.—School Trustees Kenyon, O'Brien, Graham and Lang- ford held a star chamber meeting this morning in City Superintendent Rus- sell’s office to consider the High School difficulty. Principal Shumate and Pro- fessor Smith of the High Schoel were summoned before the body, and it is said they and Superintendent Russell were given some instructions and ad- vice, with the imperative command to obey orders. The board decided to take things into its own hands, regard- less of public opinion, and it was the consensus of opinion of four trustees that Vanderbilt's famous saying, “The public be damned,” be adopted as the motto of the board. A resolution was introduced and adopted declaring that the board would act independent of all forces, and so notified the public, the Grand Army, the students of the High 8chool and the faculty. Trustee Kenyon prepared the resolution, but he refused to per- mit any outsider to see the paper. Ken- yon said its substance was this: The board intends to do as it pleases in the matter; it wants no interference from outside persons, either publie, Grand Army or students; that discip- line must be maintained, and Principal Shumate is instructed to straighter af- fairs in the school. Principal Shumate and Professor Smith were glven to understand that hey must do better. They were in- structed to notify the students that no interference in the affairs of the board would be tolerated. At the High School to-day all was When Profesgors Shu- mate and Smith returned they sum- moned two classes at a time and told them of their interview with the board. That they addressed only two classes at a time the students claim was due to a desire to avoid a possible conflict with the student body. As it was, Professor Shumate and one of the pu- pils had a wordy dispute. Professor Smith asked the students to abandon all furgher movements in his behalf. Orders have been issued forbidding any meeting of the student body of the school. It leaked out to-day that at a meet- ing yesterday the students by unan- imous vote decided to strike unless Professor Smith was reinstated next Tuesday night. It is said they de- clared they would never return to school unless Smith was employed as teacher. The students were warned to- day against talking about the affair outside of the school. Trustee O'Brien sald to-day some- thing was radically wrong with the school, and that an investigation would probably be held. He said a great deal of jealousy existed among the teachers, and this would be ‘“nipped in the bud.” Professor Smith would undoubtedly be put back, and no appli- cations for his place had been consid- ered. Trustee Kenyon expressed about the same opinion. He said the board was determined to have the High School conducted properly. He did not propose to have the student body die- tate to the trustees, and every mem- ber of the faculty would be discharged if necessary to break the backbone of the student body. The trustees want- ed to conduct the school in the best way, but did not want outsiders to med- dle with their affairs. On every hand the Grand Army is being highly complimented for unmask- ing this gang of political tricksters. The High School affair is being dis- cussed everywhere, and nearly every one is taking Professor Smith's part. Says He Was not Insane. Samuel B.
